Video from The Lancet Series on Universal Health Coverage launch event now available

The Rockefeller Foundation, The Lancet, and Results for Development Institute launched The Lancet Series on Universal Health Coverage featuring Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and Dr. Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation on Wednesday, September 26, 2012.

As the global movement towards universal health coverage (UHC) continues to grow, numerous countries are experimenting with models for moving toward UHC utilizing health financing mechanisms to protect against financial risk, increase access to essential health services, and improve health outcomes. This Series highlights multiple facets of what is happening with UHC globally including a perspective on the historical evolution of the economics and policy behind it, evidence on the effects of UHC on health outcomes, and an exploration of progress towards UHC in nine Asian and African countries.
